Lukali & Co. — Jewelry with Soul, Built by Hand

Founded in 2018 by Ali, Lukali & Co. was born from a vision: to create jewelry that carries more than just weight—it carries meaning.

We’re not just jewelers. We’re artists, smiths, carvers, teachers, and storytellers. Our studio blends old-world craftsmanship with modern edge, where every link, claw, and casting is shaped by hands that know their craft inside and out.

We’re fully GIA-certified. We’ve won awards. We teach the next generation. But more than anything, we live what we create.


💎 Our Process

Every piece begins with a conversation between design and material, idea and technique. We use traditional methods like lost wax casting, hand engraving, and stone setting, paired with contemporary tools and uncompromising standards.

Our materials are solid: Precious metals, natural and lab-grown gemstones, and fine enamel. Our team is tighter than a row of pavé, and our work speaks through its details.

Nothing here is mass-produced. Everything is built to last—physically and emotionally.

Glow In The Dark Jewelry

🌌 Glow In The Dark Jewelry

Jewelry That Transcends Day and Night

At Lukali & Co, we’ve elevated fine jewelry into something extraordinary with our signature glow-in-the-dark enamel. By day, each piece is a statement of craftsmanship and luxury. By night, it transforms into something truly unforgettable — radiating a luminous glow that captivates everyone around you.


✨ What Makes Our Glow Jewelry Special?

Glow-in-the-dark enamel is more than an effect — it’s a hallmark of innovation and exclusivity.

  • Luxury With a Twist – Sophisticated by day, glowing brilliance by night.

  • Distinctive Design – No two glow pieces are alike, making each one one-of-a-kind.

  • Built to Last – Our enamel is crafted for durability, maintaining its brilliance for years.


🔬 The Layering Process — Built for Beauty & Strength

Our glow enamel process is designed to balance aesthetic perfection with long-term wearability. While we keep our exact methods in-house, here’s what makes our approach unique:

  • Base Layering: Each piece begins with a meticulously prepared surface, ensuring the enamel bonds seamlessly to the precious metal beneath.

  • Glow Application: The enamel is carefully layered to create depth and consistency. This ensures a smooth, radiant finish that charges naturally under light and glows in the dark.

  • Protective Sealing: A final high-polish finish and protective treatment lock in the glow while maintaining the luxury look of fine jewelry. This step ensures your piece feels as premium as it looks.

The result is jewelry that doesn’t just glow — it shines with professional craftsmanship, resilience, and luxury.


🖤 Designed for Statement Makers

Glow jewelry is for people who embrace boldness, creativity, and individuality. Whether it’s a custom pendant with glowing details, a statement ring that transforms after dark, or a personal design brought to life, our glow enamel makes every piece unforgettable.


🌍 Modern Craft Meets Tradition

We’ve fused traditional jewelry-making techniques with modern innovation. While our artisans master age-old methods like carving, setting, and polishing, our glow-in-the-dark enamel technology takes these designs into the future. It’s this blend of heritage and innovation that sets Lukali & Co apart.


💎 Your Glow, Your Way

Every glow piece is custom-made to order. You choose the style, color intensity, and design — we craft it with precision. Whether subtle or bold, the glow is always striking, always premium, and always 100% Lukali quality.
